Bring back old text box mode (no double tapping for confirmation and unlimited boxes)
The new update on the text box mode needs to be reverted. Firstly, you have to tap twice in order to confirm the box, which is already inconvenient enough, but on top of that the text box mode will switch to the lasso tool after one box??
It is VERY inefficient to take notes on lecture manuscripts, now you have to double tap everytime to confirm it and then you need to reselect text box mode...
Before that you could place unlimited boxes and you didn't need to double tap to confirm. Bring it back please!!!

New updates are glitchier/less smooth than previous releases!
Writing using pens is glitchy, I see the line or letter I am drawing flicker from visible / invisible, drawing shapes is terrible and can't be rotated! Erasing seems glitchy with shapes too.
Please revert back to old releases until the bugs are worked out on these new algorithms, because the writing process is now, at this point, user UNfriendly.

Please return the Timekeeper and Bookmark to before the update
After the update, the timekeeper is hidden and the time seems too small, so it's uncomfortable. Please return the bookmarks as well

Request for this update
The context can be strange because I use a translator. Please understand.
1. Laser points written as lines have become less readable since this update. Please go back to before the update.
2. I wish I could modify the sidebar. In my case, I don't use pencils well and often use nooses, so it would be convenient if I could add nooses to the sidebar. And I set it to change to the tool I used automatically if I use the eraser, but after this update, if I use the noose and choose the handwriting tool again, the eraser will…4 votes -
Lock the pencil toolbar in place
I would like to have the option to have the pencil bar, that opens while I am using the pen tool, always in place. So that it stays when using the lasso for example.
That way I would save a step because I rarely need the same pen/eraser I used before the lasso. Also it is really distracting when there regularly is the movement of it popping up and going away in my screen4 votes -
Worst
When I try to write with the keyboard, the text doesn’t appear right away — it’s like the touch input isn’t responding properly. This kind of issue feels unacceptable, especially for a note-taking app. Previously, I could simply tap and type immediately, but now I have to tap, type, then click twice on the screen before my previous note ends, and even then, I need to press the keyboard tool or “T” again to start typing a new note. It seems like whoever designed this update has never actually taken notes during a lecture. This update added unnecessary steps —…

More customer surveys and research before large changes to UI
I have been reading a lot of feedback from the new 7.0.4 update and there is a clear consensus among all users I saw who gave feedback that this update has worsened the user experience. As a university student and researcher, I found this app to previously be the best in the market by FAR (especially as you used to offer the lifetime payment option, which I prefer over subscription based services). I think it's important to offer this option as I am under the impression that this has been removed. I also feel that there was not enough communication…

Apple Pencil latency needs to be reduced
Easy to replicate - write absolutely anything and you will see a gap between your pencil tip and the ink appearing on-screen. Mine is about half a second behind on the newest iPad Pro M4 13-inch with a Pencil Pro. This should really be optimized.
Running iPadOS 26 with Goodnotes 7.

Writing text on drawn boxes
In the recent update, everything fell apart. I strongly recommend a HCI team that conducts research on UI properties before making radical changes to the whole experience. Some strong changes can deter existing users!
Also, just like the android phones and the iPhone, please make the experience almost identical in some areas, as it encourages migration according to users needs without hesitation. For me, the only strength for Goodnotes is its backup and sync feature. So make sure the differentiation on that front is robust, while slowly improving other features. How does this help? If notability users also see that…

Smarter Lasso Tool
When using the lasso tool to select a drawing or handwriting area, it would be great to not only change the color but also adjust the line thickness for all selected elements simultaneously. Additionally, adding an option to either preserve the original stroke thickness or scale it proportionally when resizing would offer much more control and flexibility.

Movable tool bar above text box
When using the text box to answer questions on homework, the pop up box covers up the question I’m trying to answer. So can we please make that movable or hideable?

Custom fonts are harder to get to
With the new update, it takes so many extra steps to change the fonts to custom, downloaded ones. There’s the modern, classic, and technical options so it would be nice to customize that so there’s a top 3 fonts, but it sucks to have my fonts be more inaccessible!!

Image and elements select without lasso tool
With the new update, you can’t click on the image or elements tool to edit just those items. The buttons are just for adding new images into the page and that forces you to use the lasso tool to edit them. This is horrible for someone like me who uses a background image as a template and kept the image lasso off to not accidentally mess up my whole page. Please change it back! Or FINALLY give us a lock layer option so that we don’t have to select everything to get one image!!

Rectangle shape WITHOUT text
With the new update - as soon as you insert a rectangle using the shape tool (love that you get a perfect rectangle every time by the way thanks for this!), it automatically assumes you want to add text. I NEVER do. I do want to resize it though. So I have to click off it to resize it. I would prefer to have the default option of rectangle without text and then, as it is now, to click in the middle of the textbox to add text.

Add the ability of extending margins in pdf file/ presentation to add notes
Allow extending the margin (left and right of pdf file or presentation, to add notes. This would be very useful for students that follow the professor’s presentation during lectures. Some other apps do it like notes+. Their implementation is pretty good.

Toggle to automatically send highlighter layer back
I like having my highlighter behind my writing as it’s easier to read. It would be helpful to have a toggle option for the highlighter to automatically go behind text after it is drawn. It’s a bit of a hassle to keep selecting just the highlighter stroke and go through the settings to manually send it to the back.

[AI] Hide ‘Answer is ready’ Banner
There’s a phrase ‘Answer is ready’ before name of the file,
it made me can’t see the name of the file and I have to open all of that to find the file I want to use, so I suggest to add an option to close that phrase for more comfortable in use of Goodnotes.4 votes -

Flip/Mirror
It will be a big help for us, engineers, to flip/mirror a certain drawn object selected using lasso tool. Its a good feature for us since we always draw symmetrical figures.
